Description
In V11 when generating an EFT file, the standard windows pop up displayed so you could specify a filename and extension, with this process we were automatically able to default the file extension to “*.*” for New Zealand. This extension made the file compatible with all of the New Zealand the bank portals.
In V12 as the screens were re-designed, we did not impose a default extension and where a file was saved the save method defaulted the extension to “.csv”, which resulted with file not being compatible with some of the bank portals. To provide flexibility with file extension requirements, we have made changes in Patch 1 to support the ability for a user to enter in an extension value when creating EFT Pay and EFT Deductions files.
In the Select Payment Date screen, a new item has been added for File Name.
When entering in the File Name, a user can now specify the file type (extension), the example above will create a “.txt” file.
Benefits
This change provides greater flexibility when creating EFT files for New Zealand payroll processes so all bank file extension requirements can be supported.
Configuration
No additional configuration is required to support this change.
